Reissued Mar. l1, 1930 UNITED STATES DANIEL J'. GREMEN, 0F BLACKWOOD, NEW JERSEY Original No. 1,682,004, dated August 28, 1928, Serial No. 166,884, led February 9, 1827. Application for reissue led December 13,

My invention relates to caps and more particularly to that class commonly known as cooks caps and has for its object to provide a cap of that character which is light,

cool and comfortable and which, although resembling in appearance the usual starched fabric cooks cap, is made of such inexpensive lnaterial that it may be discarded after it has become soiled. A still further object is to 1o provide means enabling the adjustment of the brim by the wearer to any desired width.

A feature of the invention consists in providing a cap with an upstanding continuously extending substantially circular brim, and

16 a crown of loosely woven material permitting the free passage of air therethrough, said brim at its lower peripheral edge having a portion folded inwardly upon itself providing means loosely disposed with said brim for attaching the crown to the latter.

A further feature of the invention consists in providing a cap with an upstanding continuously extendlng substantially circular brim composed of a fabric facing and a fibrous lining, and a crown of loosely woven material permitting free passage of air therethrough, said brim at its lower peripheral edge having a portion folded u )on itself and extending upwardly within t e latter, the

folded portion of said brim having a relatively flexible portion to which the crown is attached. l

Other and more specific objects and features of the invention will hereinafter appear and be pointed out in the claims.

In the drawing illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention Figure l is a perspective View of the cap embodying the invention z,

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of the cap showing the brim extended before being folded into normal position;

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view of the ca Iffigure 4 is a detail fragmentary vertical sectional View of the brim showing the means for attaching the crown tothe latter.

In the drawing, the upstanding continuously extending brim 1 consists of an outer member 2 of relatively thin flexible fabric,

-such as muslin, and an inner member or lining of fibrous material 2l, a porous paper pre ferably being emnloved. The thin fabric material is pasted to the fibrous lining in a manner such that the brim will present a starchcdlike appearance.

At its lower peripheral edge 4 the brim has aV portion 5 folded inwardly and upwardly upon itself providing meansl disposed with said brim for attaching the crown to thc latter. The peripheral end 7 of the lining terminates short of the adjacent peripheral end 8 of the fabric, thus providing the brim with a relatively flexible tab portion 9 to whlch the crown (i may bc readily stitched. After the crown is attached, the portion 9 1s folded so as to project downwardly wi thin the cap.

A To suit the taste of each individual wearer the width of the brim may be varied to a considerable extent by merely folding the brim at the desired point, and it is for this reason that the lining 3 extends a relatively great distance beyond the point 4,-4, Figure 2, at which the brim is usually folded.

Since these caps are worn in places where the temperature is high, the crown is made of a loosely woven fabric, such as lawn, adapted to permit the free passage of air therethrough for Ventilating the head of the wearer.

By folding and refolding it in the manner disclosed, the brim is provided with a portion loosely disposed Within the confines of the latter to which the crown is secured, thus producing a cap of neat appearance.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent of the United States:

1. A cap provided with an upstanding continuously extending substantially circular brim comprising a relatively flexible `fabric facing and a relatively stiff fibrous lining intimately united by an adhesive, and a ventilating crown of loosely woven material, one of the peripheral ends of said lining terminating short of the adjacent peripheral end of the flexible fabric, the unlined portion of the said flexible material being loosely disposed within the brim and constituting tion loosely disposed within itself constitutthe sole means to which the crown is secured for connecting the latter to the brim.

2. A cap having an upstanding continuously extendin1r brim comprising a relatively fiexible fabric facing and a relatively stii fibrous lining intimately united by an adhesive substance, and a Ventilating crown of loosely woven fabric, said brim having a ortion loosely disposed within itself constltuting the sole means to which the crown is secured for connecting the latter to the brim.

3. A cap provided with an upstanding continuously extending substantiall circular brim comprising a relativel flexible fabric facing and a relatively sti fibrous lining, and a Ventilating crown of loosely woven materialsaid brim at its lower eripheral edge having a 4portion folded upon itself and loosely exten ing within the latter, the folded portion of said brim having arelatvely Hexible portion to which the crown is secured for connecting the latter tothe brim.

4, A cap provided with an-upstanding continuously extending substantiall circular brim comprising a relatively flexible fabric facing and a relatively stiff paper lining, and a crown of loosely woven material permitting the free assage of air therethrough, said brim at its ower peripheral edge having a portion folded upon itself extendin upwardly with the brim, said portion terminating in a flexible extension providing means for attaching the crown to the brim.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of December, 1929.
